That's hardly a surprise. He's been her home for a long time.

She's just glad he seems to have found one in her, too.

[𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐒 . . . @fierytelepathy]

Don't mind her as she flings herself toward him for a hug!

[𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐒 . . . @fierytelepathy]

She's missed him terribly!

[𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐒 . . . @fierytelepathy]

"Wait, really?"

She took it into her hands and looked carefully at it, trying not to grin.

"It is kinda cute-"

[𝐂𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐬 @RubyVisionary]

“It just appeared, well fell out of the sky..you want it?”

Turning to her holding it out

[𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐒 . . . @fierytelepathy]

Staring at it over his shoulder.

"That's-... one way to put it," she mused, "where did you even get that?"

[𝐂𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐬 @RubyVisionary]

Holding up little labubu him

“..cute”

[𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐒 . . . @fierytelepathy]

He had no idea how right he was. She was, after all, a perfect fusion of a powerful omega-class telepath, and the infinite Phoenix Force.

Her entire body became engulfed with flames, and she offered him a lopsided smirk.

"I'll follow your lead," she coaxed.

He flashes the other a confident grin, clenching his knuckes. “Great! These monsters will be a pile of ash before they realize it!”

He wasn't sure who the woman is, but her help is welcome. Especially when she seems as fiery as he, if not more!

@WillOfVonDoom ( Oh nooo! I'm sorry. I can't get through N4, since I main Blade and those stupid goo-zombies get me every time. If you still have available spaces, lmk! )

[𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐒 . . . @fierytelepathy]

"Finally, a little excitement. Let's do this!"

[ूৡ. 𝕶𝗋𝖺𝗄𝖾𝗇 ⸽⃟ 𝕴𝘴𝘢𝘢𝘤 @marinergeneral]

“Let's turn up the heat, reader!”

[𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐒 . . . @fierytelepathy]

Yawns. Stretches.

She needs a little excitement.

[𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐒 . . . @fierytelepathy]

Great! Was he feeling like beating down any opponent in particular?

[𝕸𝖆𝖝𝖎𝖒𝖚𝖘 𝕷𝖊𝖍𝖓𝖘𝖍𝖊𝖗𝖗 @ElectricClone]

Then he's joining her !

[𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐒 . . . @fierytelepathy]

"Just can't sleep."

Not quite a lie, not entirely the truth ; a balance that Jean had to delicately weigh.

"I thought maybe beating down some sentinels might help tire my body out, so my mind won't race."

[𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐬𝐲 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐨𝐜𝐤 @PsionicKnight]

"No not really... Are you okay ?"

Betsy was used to the danger room as she had no limits for her sessions. Being a messed up mutant like her does that..

[𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐒 . . . @fierytelepathy]

@SupremeDropRed "Here," she carefully held the cards out to him, "I must be tired ; I'm seeing things . . ."

[𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐒 . . . @fierytelepathy]

In sleep, she's tormented by apocalyptic visions . . . and, thus, she's retreated to the Danger Room, hoping to exhaust her mind and her body.

[𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐒 . . . @fierytelepathy]

@SupremeDropRed seemed, almost, to wink at her. She brought it closer and tried to view it from different angles ; trying to figure out if it was an optical illusion.

The tiny voice, though, was far less explicable. +

[𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐒 . . . @fierytelepathy]

@SupremeDropRed She eyed the cards curiously, and turned her hand over, holding it out to him.

"May I see?"

Her eyes were kind as she made her request, her curiosity clearly reflected in them.

[𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐒 . . . @fierytelepathy]

@SupremeDropRed "Duel Monsters," Jean repeated, "I can't stay I'm familiar, but then . . . most of the students would tell you that the faculty here are out of touch."

Jean managed a small, good-natured chuckle at her own expense, even if she didn't quite agree with the sentiment. +

[𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐒 . . . @fierytelepathy]

@SupremeDropRed "what sort of dueling is it?"

She inclined her head curiously ; it was evident that her interest had been piqued.

"And, once you defeat him . . . what then?"

[𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐒 . . . @fierytelepathy]

@SupremeDropRed She blinked for a few moments, almost unsure if she'd heard him correctly. She'd never heard of this Yugi individual, although he sounded like someone very accomplished in the endeavor.

"I see," she replied, turning toward him to offer him her full attention, +

[𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐒 . . . @fierytelepathy]

@SupremeDropRed to society. Now, I . . . try to lead by the example he set."

She paused and shifted her eyes from the painting to the other.

"But enough about me," she stated, "what about you? If you could accomplish anything, what would it be?"

[𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐒 . . . @fierytelepathy]

@SupremeDropRed In the corridor, she paused and gazed upon a portrait of Charles Xavier.

"I was one of the first students to be brought here," she reminisced, "my family was terrified of my power, but the man who founded the school taught me to control it ; to use it to contribute positively +
